Job Lowe 26th Aug 2016		I think you're right, slholzer. from Midsummer in Sweden "The tradition of dancing around the Midsummer pole is an old one, though of course the dances have changed over the centuries. Today organized Swedish Midsummer festivals typically include exhibitions of folk dancing in traditional costumes, as well as ring dances and games for people of all ages to join in. No Midsummer celebration is complete without Små grodorna, a dancing game in which people of all ages hop around the pole while singing about little frogs. The goofiness is part of the fun!" It does sound interesting. The dancing appears to be more ring or folk than square. (Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on Swedish culture, but the above does seem to pertain to the record.)
slholzer 26th Aug 2016		So these are more like square dancing records then?
Job Lowe 25th Aug 2016		Text from B label scan: Gunnar Lundén-Weldens Orkester HILDING PETTERSSON lekledare Potpurri På Svenska Danslekar sammanställt av Knut Lekare Sju Vackra Flickor - Viljen I Veta - Jänta Å Ja Google translate says: Gunnar Lundén-Weldens Orchestra HILDING PETTERSSON animators Potpourri At Swedish dancing games compiled by Knut Swivels Seven Beautiful Girls - Will you Know - Lassie A Yes Lekledare, which translated as "animators", also translates as "games organizer" or "game leader".
slholzer 25th Aug 2016		I don't read or speak Swedish, so bear with me if I'm displaying my ignorance here, but it seems to me we are not getting the whole story of this disc in the listing as it stands. Are these not medleys? And are the actual titles of the tunes being played not the words in the yellow part at the bottom of the labels? What role do Hilding Pettersson and Knut Lekare play? I'm guessing Lekare might be the arranger. Is Pettersson the vocalist?
